Love in War

Chapter 23

Lucy's POV:

After I told Natsu all of that I really wanted to drop the subject, luckily we had just arrived at the library where he will meet one of my closest friends.

" so why the hell are we here again" Natsu said impatiently as we walked through the doors of the building.

" Natsu I told you I have to give something to my friend Levy."

" LU-CHAN!!!!"  We look up at the gigantic bookshelves to see a petite bluenette at the very top with a mountain of books in her arms. She quickly put all of the books in the proper place and slid down the later and tackled me. "Lu-chan I've missed you so much, you should visit me more often." She said while suffocating me with her affection.

" Levy I can't... breathe." I say while gasping for air. She loosens up her grip and finally notices Natsu who is looking very confused at the moment.

" so who's the stranger Lu-chan, is he your boyfriend." She said with the smuggest look on her face, as Natsu and I blush Crimson red at the word boyfriend.

" n-no levy this is Natsu. He is a good friend of mine." I say whilst trying to calm down from her comment.

" whatever you say Lu-chan, hi I'm Levy." She said as she extended her arm out to shakes his hand.

We walked over to some of the tables in the library and sat down." So how are yo feeling Levy," I said in a concerned tone.

" I'm doing fine Lu, I will all healed up in a month or two." Levy said in a reassuring tone.

" did something happen to you." Natsu asked curiously.

" yeah I got hurt real bad a month ago." Levy said as she took off her blue vest to show him to delicate fairy wings, one with a big rip in it.

" damn, what happened?" Natsu asked.

" it's a long story," Levy simply replied.

After an awkward pause levy turned to me and asked as she put her best back on," so Lu, do you have the good?"

" I sure as hell do." I replied excitedly as I reached in my bag and pulled out  the latest chapter of my novel, in which levy the pulled out of my hand and hugged it while squealing. " I also have this for you," I said as I gave her two invites to the ball. " you can give the extra one to that guy you have been telling me about." I gave her and evil look as she started to blush.

We talked for a little while longer before Natsu and I had to go deliver the other two invites. " sorry I couldn't stay longer Levy."

" it's perfectly fine Lu-chan, just visit again soon." She said while giving me another hug." And Lu, if I were you I'd dump the Fiancé of yours and go for Natsu, you to look so cute together." She whispered that part in my ear, and I was blushing the entire walk to the bar.
